Tjoughts on Entering an Event

In my last blog entry, I indicated that I was going to write about how Abdu'l-Baha would be expected to respond, when entering a party. What would he notice?

Well, back in 1912, Abdu'l-Baha did get invited to a dinner in New York City. While walking to the place of that dinner, Abdu'l-Baha noticed that the hosts had obtained a special bowl. They had filled it with water, so that their guest could wash his hands in that bowl.

Being a humble man, Abdu'l-Baha did not like that idea. He ducked into a small bathroom and washed his hands there. Then when he got to the dinner, he explained that he had just cleaned his hands, and he invited the other guests to use the water in the beautiful bowl.

About Me

I spent 30 years doing biomedical research, then I had to retire. I had done a fair amount of writing for various groups, and so I became a freelance writer.
I writer for the local paper, for the Internet and for children's magazines. I have a story in a soon-to-be published anthology, a book titled THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE.
